If you want one or more of these, email me at ebondrake (at) hotmail (dot) com using the title "Books for Sale." Of course, I'm eventually going to need an address from you that's able to receive packages. No stated charge for any of these; if you feel warm fuzzies after getting them, you can send whatever you want to the return address on the package. The deadline, sadly, is Monday night (Sept 17)--sorry for the incredibly short notice, but I had a miscommunication over exactly when they were scheduled to go out. :/ Thanks.
(PS: I might pull some of the more potentially popular ones just in case some people get back to me late. Send mail ASAP, though.)
